Furthermore, shower seats are not just for those with mobility issues. Families with young children can also benefit from having a shower seat in the bathroom. It provides a safe space for little ones to sit while bathing, allowing parents to attend to other tasks without compromising their children’s safety. This additional seating can also be incredibly helpful when bathing pets, giving owners a sturdy place to rest while ensuring their furry friends are safe and secure.

Another key feature of smart beds is their adjustable positioning capabilities. Patients can easily adjust their bed's elevation and angle with the push of a button, which promotes comfort and facilitates better recovery. This is particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgery or those with mobility issues, as it helps reduce strain and aids in rehabilitation.

Several charitable organisations, such as the British Red Cross for example, may have programmes offering free or heavily discounted medical equipment, including hospital beds. However, availability and quality may vary.
 

A semi-electric hospital bed (E0260, E0261, E0294, and E0295) is covered if the patient meets one of the criteria for a fixed height bed and requires frequent changes in body position and/or has an immediate need for a change in body position.

In addition to physical rehabilitation, equipment aimed at improving cognitive function is also essential. Tools like computerized cognitive training programs play a significant role in the recovery of individuals who have sustained brain injuries or cognitive impairments. These programs provide tailored exercises that engage various cognitive skills, helping to enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities during rehabilitation.
